"Come on Edward, you can't leave her!" Jacob yelled as he took the paddles from the nurse. "300!" Jacob pressed the paddles to Edward's chest once more sending his body upward and back down whipping his head toward the monitor.

……….

"Nothing," a nurse said. Jacob wiped his forehead with the back of his forearm as he handed the paddles back to the nurse.

"Come on Edward! Don't do this!" Jacob demanded as he placed his palms on Edward's chest pressing down and then allowing his hands to come back up. Jacob repeated this movement for five minutes.

"Doctor, it's been thirty minutes," the nurse said looking at the monitor.

"I can't let him leave her! She would never forgive me!" Jacob yelled as he continued chest compressions. The nurse let him continue as the long drug out beep echoed through the room.

The nurses stood there silently praying for one of the their own. They all enjoyed working with Edward. He was always such a pleasant presents in the midst of chaos.

"Come on Edward! Think about Bella!" Jacob yelled as if Edward could hear him. He stopped chest compressions slamming his right palm down against Edward's chest with as much force as he could muster. The long beep turned into multiple short beeps.

"We have a pulse," the nurse exclaimed as Jacob stumbled back to let the nurses finish cleaning Edward up and replaced the oxygen mask with a tube placed slightly up in his nostrils. Thankfully he was breathing on his own.

Jacob hurried out of the operating room pulling off his mask, scrub hat, and gloves as he collapsed to the floor. He had never been so scared in his entire life. He knew he shouldn't have shown up at Bella and Edward's wedding and he felt responsible for them not getting married. He knew that he hurt Bella when he walked out of their lives, but he thought that it was the best thing to do. He loved Bella and thought that he could just get over her that way, but he came to the realization that not having her in his life at all was worse than watching her marry another man. He was going to the wedding to apologize and hope that Bella and Edward would take him back, but Edward was too upset to even listen to his apology.

Jacob sat there for a few moments his chest rising a falling heavily as he tried to bring his heart rate down. The nurses started to roll Edward's gurney out of the operating room moments later.

"We're taking him to 312," the nurse said as she saw Jacob sitting on the floor. Jacob nodded as he started to get up. Jacob followed them to the room checking Edward's vitals and for any brain activity. He knew that without oxygen for thirty minutes there might be brain damage. He wasn't about to let that happen.

"Bella," Alice said softly as she walked outside to see Bella and receptionist sitting on a bench talking.

"Bells!" Bella looked from Alice to a large figure running up toward the hospital.

"Emmett," Bella sighed as he engulfed her in his arms.

"I'm sorry it took me so long. Is he OK?" Emmett asked as he took hold of Bella's hands.

Bella looked over to Alice who was glad to see her big brother. "He just got out of surgery. Jacob is upstairs waiting to talk to us." Hearing Jacob's name caused Emmett to tighten his grip on Bella's hands. Bella winced.

"Sorry," Emmett smiled as he dropped one of her hands as they followed Alice inside wrapping his other arm around Alice's shoulder's giving it a squeeze.

"Kate," Bella stopped and turned around before they entered the door. "Thanks." Bella was grateful for the conversation with Kate. It kept her mind off Edward while he was in surgery. She knew that Kate and her would become great friends.

"You're welcome," Kate smiled as she watched the three walk inside.

"I was just telling everyone that we repaired the internal damage, we lost his pulse for about thirty minutes, but we got it back and he's now stable," Jacob said as he heard Bella gasp. "He's in the ICU right now and we won't know anymore until he wakes up."

There was a deafening silence as the Cullen's processed the information. Lost his pulse? They had almost lost Edward forever.

"Can we see him?" Alice asked with her arm around Bella. She could feel Bella start to shake at the words 'we lost his pulse'.

"You may, one at a time," Jacob said not being able to keep his eyes off Bella. All he wanted to do was wrap his arms around her and apologize for being such an asshole. But, he knew now was not the time.

"Bella, you want to go in first?" Carlisle asked. Bella only nodded. Jacob motioned with his head in the direction of Edward's room. Bella looked up at him with cautious eyes as she slowly followed behind him. Jacob opened the door to Edward's room and let Bella walk in. Bella gasped as she saw his still body lying on the bed, tubes hanging from his body attached to the surrounding machines. Bella slowly made her way over to his unconscious body placing her hand on top of his. As her skin came in contact with his the beeping on the heart monitor sped up. Bella quickly removed her hand.

"He knows you're here," Jacob said softly as she looked back at him with panicked eyes. Jacob then turned to walk out of the room.

Bella turned her attention back to Edward taking a seat in a chair that was placed next to the bed. She grabbed his hand in hers as she rose up her free hand placing it on his forehead. "Edward, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I yelled at you, I'm sorry for not just answering you, I'm sorry it's you lying here and not me, I love you so much. Edward Cullen, you can not leave me again." Bella cried as she laid her head down next to his arm.

"Bella sweetheart," a voice said from behind as a hand found Bella's back. Bella lifted her head up to see Esme.

"I'm sorry I took so long," Bella said standing up wiping the tears quickly from her cheeks.

"Dear, you weren't taking to long, we're just worried about you," Esme smiled as she took Bella into her arms.

"I'm so sorry," Bella cried into Esme's shoulder.

"Bella, dear, this is not your fault," Esme said rubbing her back to try to calm her. "Your dad is outside and said that Edward's car was hit by a driver who ran a red light. There was nothing he could have done."

"I just…what if he doesn't make it. The last thing I did when I saw him was yell at him. No I love you, no good-bye. I yelled at him," Bella sobbed as she tried to catch her breath.

"Bella, look at me," Esme said pulling back from their embrace. Bella looked up at her with sorrow in her eyes. "Edward knew that you loved him. He knows that you'll always love him. Sure you might not have left each other the way you wanted to, but he's going to be alright. He's going to wake up and see you standing there and you two will work whatever it is out. You two have been through a lot lately and trust me when I say that it will only make your relationship stronger."

"Thank you," Bella whispered. She needed to hear encouragement. Edward was strong. He wasn't one to give up so easily. "I should let everyone else come in." Esme let go of Bella smiling sweetly as Bella left the room.

The rest of the family went in one by one to see Edward until visiting hours were over. Bella begged Jacob to let her stay the night. She wanted to be there if and when Edward woke up.

"Alright, but only because you're my best friend, Bells," Jacob smiled. It was the first time he'd smiled since she had gotten there. "I'm so sorry for everything. I'm sorry for being a jerk, I'm sorry for hurting you the way I did, I'm sorry for showing up at the wedding. I didn't mean to upset Edward that way. It's my fault he left, and I will never forgive myself for that."

"Oh Jake," Bella cried as she wrapped her arms around his waist pressing her cheek against his chest.

"He's going to be OK. I just know it," Jake said into her hair. Bella hoped that he was right. She may have gotten Jacob back in her life, but if that meant losing Edward for good, she wasn't ready for that.

A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short, but I kind of felt bad for leaving you two chapters with a cliff hanger. I know that this one is kind of one too, but not as bad as the others.

Feedback is GREATLY appreciated!!!!!
